The ILWU Local 142 is a diverse union, with members working in many different types of jobs in most major industries in Hawaii. Because of this diversity, and because the ILWU is concerned about issues that affect the entire community—there are more than a hundred points, or issues, covered by the ILWU’s legislative program.

The ILWU strongly supports all points in its legislative program, but will focus on this list of legislative priorities for the 28th Legislature.

All state lawmakers receive copies of both the ILWU’s legislative program and legislative priorities.
